Ruby red in color. 13% ABV. Sangiovese, Colorino and Pugnitello. Savory nose of red fruits, iron and earth. Medium body with strong acidity. Packed with tart, rustic fruits. Cherry, cranberry, blood and minerals on the palate. Nice length on the finish. Serve with hearty food and appreciate the value here. Best over the next several years.
My rating: 88 points.
This wine was #24 in the Wine Spectator Top 100 and I could not resist when I saw it at Costco for a little under $20. I’ll buy more if I see it on the shelves again.
